interior trimmers

[dilley]

Does anyone have any recomendations for interior trimmers??? I am hoping to sound proof the floor and cover it in carpet along with the storage pods inside and I would like leather on all the alloy inside, problem is I'm not brave enough to do it myself!!!!!!

Yep. Totally agree with Wayne, Martin does a great job and is a thoroughly nice bloke.

what sort of price do you think I am looking at for the work I am thinking of having done?????????

[DHGTR]

i would think you should allow at least 1k if you are going to get him to do the dash and seats as well. but you are best speaking to him, as wayne says, he has done a fair few 'Ultimi' and does know the product. always better to speak to him direct as he will have a better idea about costs.
P.S. i was going to go down the sound proofing road but in the end i thought, this 383 is 12 inches from my head just how much noise can be kept out, better off with ear plugs imho.

Yeah, me too but when luckyp was out in the GTW last weekend he said that he was surprised that it was not more noisy and his car is fully sound proofed and carpeted.

not worried about the seats or dash, has anyone soundproofed thier cars and actually noticed a difference?????

looking good Dave

i like the main gauge pod and wheels any more details ?
is the air fule ratio gauge available with black trim ring ?

I'm pretty sure that's the guy who did the interior of my one as well, although I lost the email he sent me so I can't be 100% it's the same place.

The interior of mine was a selling point in my books, as I prefer a more classic feel to all these shiny new styles that look like they came fresh out of a fetish party...

I didn't have it done, I bought the car like it...

Here's a direct link to an interior shot so you don't have to follow my link in the for sale list...

The steering wheel normally has a gold horn button in case you're wondering, I'd just fitted a quick release mechanism when I took the photo...

Hi Ryan, glad you like what you see

The main gauge is from spa design based here in the uk. www.spa-uk.co.uk it's a nice piece of kit with all the indicator/headlamp/brake warning lamps etc built into it. it also has a programmable fuel gauge (for odd shaped tanks - lucky) couple of pressure sensors and temp sensors, quite a comprehensive piece of kit . I had to have the c/f pod custom made to fit over the main gauge. The air/fuel meter didnt come in black when i ordered it about a year ago, it does now. i will be changing the colour of the bezel before the car is finished though. The gauges are all Z series gauges from www.autometer.com
The wheels are 5 spoke with a sort of machined centre part (sorry dont know how to describe this) (www.imagewheels.co.uk/large_wheel_pages/b35.html ) to each spoke. they a 3 piece billet construction from image wheels.

it all seems to be coming together quite nicely now and i'm doing my best to be able to get some summer driving in this year, after having a tough time motivating myself through the winter, things this year seem to be doing their best to delay me now that i'm 'into' it again, oh well doing what i can.
